"Why, Gregory!" exclaimed the captain. "Yes, sir; that's it!" said the mate.
We found it as still and smooth as a mirror, with a soft mist on its surface a strange contrast to the boisterous sea that we had left a moment before. The curious phrases of the Irish sounded harshly upon my ear, probably, because they were strange to me.
The road follows for some miles along the shore, a smooth, level road that winds about the bases of the hills that here slope down to toy and dally with the restless surf of the famous Inland Sea.
As they went, the ghyll widened out, till at last they were in a valley going down to the plain, in places steep, in places flat and smooth, the stream ever rattling down the midst of it, and they on the west side thereof.
